Stupid thread but I feel as if my car has no pull in 1st gear unless I rev to about 3000+RPM. It's always been there but now it is bothering me. Is it just the engine, transmission, electronics combo or is there another problem? It pulls quite well in all other gears.

I was hoping there would be a bit more push from a 6 banger. I am not looking to leave skid marks (or should I say skid mark since there's no LSD) but I would like it to take off faster than a Honda Accord next to me without having the pummel the throttle.

Nah I don't want the diff, it revs at 3000+ at 120km/h already. Frankly speaking I'll just take care of what's already there. Most likely it's all in my head since I'm used to driving a lighter car with a rising power curve. Modding this car is pointless. Once I'm done grad school I'll just get another high revving motor based on my needs then. S2k, E46 M3 etc.

if you've been driving like a granny, your throttle will adapt to that. you can do like Qube said and unhook the battery or IIRC you can do it as well by turning the key to position 2 for 10 seconds, then turn it off for 10 seconds, then actually start the car.
